Sounds like CLAMP. I’ve only seen the CCS anime, but was already used to that screwery cuz I’m a huge Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle fan. I have to read CCS at some point, especially since it doesn’t have all the pointless drama filler from the anime.
Have you seen ヒロインたるもの！〜嫌われヒロインと内緒のお仕事〜 S1 | L23 ? Description reminds me of that a little. I kinda wanna rewatch it now
Anything else you know of that fits that description?
Sometimes I looked happenings up in English and still didn’t get fully what all the backgrounds were… only now in the end some things became clearer >_<
Hmm idolverse definitely interests me, though the workplace setting is a bit more intriguing for me and I like if they’re already on the older side (at least than high school age)
Sounds like CLAMP 
That’s fair about workplace vs HS. Fwiw ヒロインたるもの does have a lot of them working (the idols, their bosses, and the MC - you see them rehearse, do shows, music video collabs, fan mail, etc, behind the scenes stuff, etc), and is also not a romance. I’m not usually that into idol stuff, but I was pleasantly surprised. (It didn’t hurt that it features a ton of my favorite voice actors, including Shimazaki Nobunaga as one of the leads)
